Video Article: The Patchwork Multiverse
Classic article with new video content: Cutting spacetime into patches could help explain the size of the universe, time—and provide the first ”experimental” evidence that string theory is on the right track.
The Cosmic Family Tree
Mapping the ancestral history of spacetime in an effort to unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.
Behind the Shadows
Imagining Schrödinger’s cat peering out from behind a black hole could lead to a theory of quantum gravity.
Why Did Nature Choose Quantum Theory?
Schrödinger’s cat may help reveal while some physical theories are better at describing reality than others.
Video Article: Through a Glass Darkly
Eight-dimensional numbers could be needed to handle string-theory’s 10-dimensional physics. This classic article, with new video content, also tackles the mystery of why elementary particles come in families of three—and maybe even how spacetime emerges in 4-dimensions.

An image that recurs to me often through many years is that of a continuity of something close to dimensionality such as SU(2) X U(1) or the SO(3,3) -> SO(3,1) x C of D R Lunsford above (which looks promising).
Going from the outside in:
In the continuity at and NEAR the surface of a gravitational body, the dimensions change from those in space-time (as interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic space) and those in isotropic acceleration toward the center, and time such...

That was a very interesting article for me. It was also very good to see a face that goes with the name. Now I understand what Julian Barbour is attempting to achieve and I think it is courageous.
I agree that space is not expanding. I agree that time is not fundamental. I can see why the idea of the changing shape of the universe may seem an interesting avenue of research and also why having no absolute frame of reference might be appealing.
However it is on these two last points...

Hi dear Amrit,
Thanks ,I am seeinng now and it's more clear for me ,indeed,your study is very interesting .
(I),(E) − t v transfer 10 0, 35 immediate (atemporal) I,E transfer
(I),(E) t v − 10 0, > 35 > temporal I,E transfer
Quantum information transfer and quantum energy transfer via particles
have a light speed. Quantum information transfer and quantum energy transfer
directly via quantum space are immediate. Time of transfer is zero, speed...
